      “You shouldn’t be alone until we find the person who killed your student and tried to abduct you,” Matt said.

      Claire shook her head. “I’ll be fine. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. No one is after me.”

      “We don’t know that, Claire. You could still be in danger.”

      She glanced up at him, curiosity pooling in her eyes. “Why? What did you find?”

      “Your student, Luke, didn’t send you that text asking you to come to the school. He couldn’t have. He was already dead by the time that text was sent. Whoever it was lured you here and was waiting for you, Claire.”

      He saw her mind racing. “Who would do that? Who would want to hurt me?”

      “That’s a good question, and one we need to figure out.” He’d meant it when he’d said he wasn’t leaving until he knew Claire was safe…and that was looking less and less likely. There was no way he was going to let her go home alone. She would be a sitting target. “I would feel better if you weren’t alone.”

      She gazed at him for a moment. Was she thinking of the past?

      Claire Kendall unlocked the side door to Lakeshore High School and slipped inside. The hallway was dark and eerily quiet on a Sunday afternoon. The hall lights were controlled by a main switch in the storage room, but they took a while to power on and Claire didn’t want to bother with them. The overhead light in her classroom would be enough, especially if she opened the window blinds and let the sunlight stream in. She took out her cell phone and hit the flashlight function, noticing as she headed down the hall how it seemed to stretch farther than it did when the lights were on and kids were present.

      She reached her classroom and saw it, too, was dark. Strange. She was supposed to be meeting her student Luke Thompson here. The text message he’d sent her earlier had indicated he was already at the school waiting. Had he given up waiting for her and left?

      She reached up and flipped the light switch, but nothing happened. The room remained dark.
